Prism Detailing - Audi RS4 Enhancement Detail (Dodo Juice)

[PrismDetailing]

I was recommended to this customer when he was looking to have his Audi RS4 corrected. The customer had recently purchased the car, so really i was asked to remove the swirls and bring some bling back to the paintwork again.

When the car turned up:

The car was rined, then snowfoamed:

rinsed and the alloys were cleaned:

Then i rewashed, rinsed and dried with a Dodo Juice Supernatural Towel....moved onto the inspection of the paintwork and determining what needed done:

Using Scholls Concept S17+ for a majority and in some cases moving to S3 Gold and finally refining with S40, correction was achieved:

50/50:

The paintwork was protected using Swissvax Shield, Glass with Permanon Glass (exterior) and Dodo Juice Clearly Menthol (interior), alloys were protected with Swissvax Autobahn and tyres dressed with Swissvax Pneu. All the trim was treated to Swissvax Nano Express and the rubbers to Seal Feed. The interior trim treated to Swissvax Quick Interior Finish and the leather to LTT products. Enine bay treated to Chemical Guys Silk Shine Dressing, Exhaust to Swissvax Metal Polish (noticed this had been worked previously!!!) the end results:

[CarolinasFinestDetailing]

Love your write-ups! I do have a certain affection for Euros. Lol. I bet that customer was ecstatic.

[PrismDetailing]

Thanks.

the owner was over the moon, it was just one of those colours which looks amazing when corrected and freshly waxed.

[Sicoupe]

Awesome job my friend:)

[Kaban]

Amazing work.

That's one of my favorite Audis ever. I don't think those ever came to the US.

[Shtexas]

Amazing work.

That's one of my favorite Audis ever. I don't think those ever came to the US.


They're awesome cars, one of the few that break the 100hp per liter narturally aspirated barrier. They were sold in the US, but they're still pretty rare. A used low mileage one in good condition sells for pretty close to what they were new

Nice work! Definitely brought the bling back hahaha.

In some of the pics, I see you're working in the sun. Does this not affect the way the products work on the car? I only ask because I often have to move my car around to avoid the sun and detail only in shaded areas of my garden/driveway because I was under the impression that direct sunlight is not ideal.

Fantastic!! I have an A4 of that vintage, but it's a 2.0T in white. That color, corrected and waxed looks really amazing!! :dblthumb2::xyxthumbs:

I understand your concern, but the weather and temps in scotland, even at their best will max at 20 degrees celcius. Only issues i have really had to overcome is products drying out too quickly (3M was a good example of that, so evolved to Menz now to Scholls/Megs), so need to provide good lube to the pad in the form of misting water or QD. Also with the increase in panel temps means you need to keep an eye on working temps, thus resulting in smaller sections being worked at a lower speed on the machine for a shorter about of time.
